Webinar Description:
The webinar will use the assessment of limited prosocial emotions as a case example of evidence-based principles for clinical assessments. Research on the basic characteristics of callous-unemotional traits and research showing their clinical importance, which led to their inclusion as a specifier in the DSM-5 for the diagnosis of Conduct Disorder, will be presented. The development and use of rating scales and clinician ratings to assess CU traits will be discussed, including how research should inform their use in clinical assessments
